Alfa AWUS036NEH - no connection

Hello there. I have an Asus Eee PC with backtrack 4 installed. I got an Alfa AWUS036NEH for it. I downloaded the tar.bz2 for the driver from the Alfa site, compiled it without error. I still can't scan for APs or connect. Any ideas?

Re: Alfa AWUS036NEH - no connection

Sorry. I feel a little foolish actually. I searched and searched and the only thing I found info on was for the AWUS036NH, not the NEH that I have. Then when I came back here I found a patch at the backtrack-linux.org home page under wireless drivers. How that didn't smack me in the face before I have no idea. Anyway, long story short for anyone in the same position, I compiled the driver Alfa gives you using the standard make install process. Then I installed the patch as explained here: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...rack-4-r1.html. Then recompiled the driver. Works like a charm now. Nice little dongle too. Good reception even without screwing in an antenna.

Hello!
I've bought this card to and it wont have injection support or monotoring support,very bad though this is a RALINK chipset, I really hope some hardcore hacker in this forums takes a look on the driver to se if he/she can make a good driver of it!

There is a atleast 2 d rivers that "works" for this card but I can say they both sucks,even in normal networking.

The first driver I've tested was something like 28xx (I don't remember), wouldent connect to WPA/WPA2 networks.
The secound driver was the "real" driver for the chipset RT3070, it worked ,but bad range and speed and disconnected sometimes.

here is a full tech spec (in swedish but I think you'll understand the important):

Hello just want to tell everybody that this cheap(I bought mine for something arrond 40Euros) little adapter from Alfa with a very good range is working great after i found this guide: BackTrack4-R1 + AWUS036NH = Win! « /dev/random

I've tested this with baktrack R1 in VMware (linux and windows host) both work great!
